This is our first episode in a new miniseries dedicated to helping you reduce your mental load/emotional labor. The mental load is all of the invisible, back of the mind stress that we carry with us every day that can really take a toll on mental health. With this miniseries, we hope to give you real tools that can help you significantly reduce the mental load in your life. This first installment is about journaling. If you are not a fan of journaling, please don't write off this practice just yet! Give this a listen and we will hopefully give you some ways to do it that will work for you. We started this series with journaling because you have to get what is unconscious conscious- what is really holding you back from making changes in your life? We also talk about seasonal journaling which is a different (and pretty fun?) way of going about this.
Seasonal Journal Prompts:
What am I most excited about?
What am I already stressed about?
How can I mitigate/eliminate this stress?
What summer outfit do I feel great in?
What is something I can decide once?
What home task will I be least motivated to do?
How can I make this easier for myself?
What will I be glad I did or didn’t do?
What do I want the season to feel like?
Other journal prompts:
Brain dump
What would my ideal day look like? What do you want me to know today? What do you want me to feel today? What do you want me to do today? OR (taking out the higher power) What do I want to learn, feel and do today?
What is worth suffering for?
Imagine being the best possible version of yourself-what would bring you closest to being that person?
If social media didn’t exist and nobody would know what you were doing, how would you live differently?
What comes most naturally to you?
What would your ideal daily routine look like?
What do you want your legacy to be?
What do you need to do to arrive at your death bed proud of yourself?
Check in with yourself: 1. Physically, 2. Spiritually, 3. Mentally, 4. Socially What can I do to recenter myself? What are my priorities in this season of life?
If you want to learn more about the mental load before diving into this episode, here is our episode all about it- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thoughts-on-thoughts/id1437728376?i=1000430309948
